First touch pen

PostedFebruary 26, 2013
Yes, I would recommend this product
Works well and looks nice. Very nice balance. Pen clip is nice and tight.
Blends in a bit too well. Distinctive bands or colors would be nice options

Touch screen stylus

PostedJanuary 24, 2013
Yes, I would recommend this product
I recently purchased a new Dell touchscreen Inspiron with Windows 8. The Targus stylus works great taking advantage of the tiles in Windows 8. Less finger prints on the screen. I've found it even more useful entering information on the touch screen of my Motorola Bionic and my seven inch tablet. Used to have problems with my big fingers hitting the wrong letters and numbers. Highly recommend for anyone who uses a touch screen device.
Pros:windows 8 tiles on my inspiron, entering information on my samsung tab, entering information on my android bionic

Great stylus

PostedApril 17, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
I mainly bought this to use for a drawing game on my android phone. Then decided to try it on my Playstation Vita which I am using to write this review.
Basically it's a pain having to use your finger for things like using swype on android phone, or a virtual keyboard on other touch screen devices. Because you can't see well with your whole hand or finger in the way. This stylus makes things so much easier. I'm planning on buying a bunch of these for my friends. It'll make games and typing so much easier.
Pros:playstation vita, android phone, Gaming

Stylus not very functional

PostedFebruary 22, 2012
No, I do not recommend this product.
I ordered this stylus so that I could write on my tablet but was disappointed in that it is more of a pointing device. If that is all you will need if for then it does good job for that.

Very functional stylus

PostedFebruary 1, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
Actually, it's not my own personal review, but from my patient base. We have used this stylus on tablet pc's that patients use to enter information and fillout forms. I have had many, many positive comments about how they like the feel, touch, and ease of use with the stylus. The only 'con' that I have for the product is that it would be nice if it came with a lanyard or string to attach it to the tablet, as it does ocassionally seem to be misplaced.

PostedDecember 28, 2011
Yes, I would recommend this product
This is good if you don't want to leave fingerprints, but on a small screen the tip is much to thick, you can't get a pin point touch that is really needed. It is not much better than using your fingers.

Stylus

PostedDecember 22, 2011
Yes, I would recommend this product
Bought the stylus to go with my new Dell Duo.
Works well when procession is not needed, the rounded point is not very accurate, including or changing the tip to a smaller point to help in accuracy would make it a better product.
The other end of the pin has a metal ring to allow putting it on some type of strap, I assume like some do with eye or sun glasses allowing them to hang around your neck keeping them convenient, the only problem I have run across is in just picking up the pin and using it to make sure the right end touches the screen, if you get the wrong end its metal on glass ouch!
Recommend coating the metal end in rubber or putting the hole lower on the pin and put a smaller sharper soft rubber point giving the choice of a rounded point on one end when accuracy is not needed or the sharper pointed end when accuracy is needed
Overall it’s better than using your fingers and smearing the screen but the accuracy issue limits what could be a great tool

This is a good stylus for a tablet. I use it on the touch screen of the Dell Duo laptop. It works well but at times seems a bit too wide at the rubber end and causes you to make several attempts to touch what you want, especially if a small target.
Pros:dell duo

Not really what I thought

PostedSeptember 20, 2011
No, I do not recommend this product.
It needs to be a little longer; I thought it would be the size of a pen. Since it’s so short the silver clip rubs against my fingers and you can’t hold it very comfortably. Also I find that the accuracy isn’t really exact and usually have to tap something a couple times to get it to do what I want. The tip needs to be a little smaller to make it more accurate.

Bought the stylus to go with my new Dell Duo. Works well overall. Only negative thing is the rounded point on it is not very accurate--would highly suggest including or changing it to a more sharper point to help in accuracy of pointing on the screen.
Pros:email ms office, paint program

stylus

PostedJune 22, 2011
No, I do not recommend this product.
I purchased this for use with my Inspiron Duo. Not sure who has the problem; the duo or the stylus. It's sloppy and not very responsive. Doesn't ever seem to read where I'm trying to use it. The large tip makes my words huge and consequently they take up too much room before it converts to text.
Pros:professional school

I just love my Studio Slim. It fits into my purse which is really handy. I love to sit infront of the tv and when something is advertised with an email address I will got to it and check out the site. The computer is fast, never a problem getting on, and the size is just right because its not combersome. My husband told me to get jewelry for our 33rd anniversary and I chose this instead. I just love my Studio Slim.
Pros:home, Travel

This stylus is very nice and works very well with the laptop I ordered. The only negative thing I would say is that the tip should be a bit smaller for more accurate clicking.
Pros:for college, surfing the internet
